01 — Manifesto

Manifesto.

Urban Agriculture · On Any Surface · Adapted Food Systems

Cities Designed to Consume, Not to Grow

Concrete replaces soil. Seasonality is solved through logistics. Efficiency replaces connection. Lifeless urban surfaces — and cities importing nearly all the food they eat.

The result is a growing disconnect between people and food, between nature and the built environment.

Agricultural Renovation

At MOSS, we believe agriculture belongs where people live, learn, and work. We create Living Labs woven into everyday places — bringing life to walls, rooftops, courtyards, and shared spaces.

And bringing people closer to the food they eat.

02 — Living Labs

Living Labs.

Every site is different. Our four project types cover the full landscape of urban agricultural opportunity.

Agri‑
Photovoltaic

Extend the value of a solar rooftop by integrating food production — maximising energy, water and crop yield simultaneously.

Double the return on your roof — and become a pioneer.

Green Roof+

Maximising the potential of existing green roofs by going one step further — and producing food.

Turn compliance into a selling point.

Flat Roof

Unused flat roofs transformed into high-yield farms using raised beds, vertical systems and smart irrigation.

Create environmental and social value from nothing.

Public Space

Courtyards, plazas, and open urban surfaces brought to life as productive community gardens.

Infrastructure that builds community.

03 — How We Work

Full Cycle
Service.

From feasibility to harvest day — and everything in between.

01

Design

Creation of Framework

Feasibility study, variety selection, and three agricultural models with a full implementation roadmap ready to deploy.

02

Build

Implementation of Design

Full build and installation including irrigation, monitoring hardware, and planting of trees and shrubs.

03

Maintain

Management of Operation

Ongoing crop management, system monitoring, reporting, and seasonal programming on annual contracts.

04

Learn

Education & Training

Structured programmes connecting Living Labs to learning, ecological literacy, and regenerative farming skills.

05

Connect

Community Events

Harvest days, planting events, open days and markets to connect Living Labs across the urban network.

06

Advise

Consultancy & Research

ESG reporting support, grant applications, policy input, and research partnerships with municipalities and universities.

04 — Segments

Segments.

Who we work with

Schools

Food grown where children learn.

Rooftop-to-canteen food systems reduce procurement emissions and food miles.

Strong involvement from parents, students, and teachers.

Residences

Food shared where neighbours meet.

Social and private housing buildings with shared growing spaces and harvest programming.

Workplaces

Herbs harvested where people work.

A living ESG asset: visible, measurable, and growing on-site.

Improves staff wellbeing and social cohesion through shared tending.

Industrial & Logistical

Large flat roofs, data centres, and logistics hubs with significant untapped surface area.

Waste heat recovery enables year-round growing.

Municipalities

Strengthens urban food security and reduces supply chain dependency.

Grant-funded projects embedded in parks and public infrastructure.

Healthcare Facilities

Biophilic design to reduce recovery times and anxiety.

Apothecary protocol connects institutional care to plant-based healing traditions.

05 — Approach

Growing
Harmoniously.

Maximise Crop Yield

Proven techniques adapted to the built environment for consistent, high-yield production across all Living Lab types.

Low & High Tech Systems

Combining manual horticultural practice with automated irrigation and monitoring systems for resilient, efficient management.

Community Metabolism

Building the social energy and stakeholder engagement that ensures long-term success beyond the initial installation.

Bring your
space to life.

Next Steps

  • Provide addresses of the potential site
  • Preliminary site assessment & feasibility review
  • Proposal with three protocol options & roadmap
  • Co-design workshop with your team & stakeholders
  • Implementation in Spring 2027
